Is this an old D&RGW bridge (La Boca)?

I was following the abandoned San Juan line on Google earth and found what might be a former D&RGW bridge near La Boca Colorado, south of Ignacio.
It seems to be a multi-span bridge over the Los Pinos river. It also appears to now be used as a highway bridge, much like the old Florida river bridge.
Here's a photo:
Does anyone have or know of a full list of the surviving bridges on the abandoned D&RGW lines? I though I knew about them all, but this one surprised me...if it is a former rail bridge.
